PAMPLONA, Spain: Osasuna shocked leaders Real Madrid 2-1 in LaLiga on Saturday as goals from Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia del Haro dented the visitors’ title charge and handed Barcelona the chance to go top.Real remained on 60 points, two clear of Barcelona, who have a game in hand and host Levante on Sunday.
Osasuna took the lead in the 34th minute after a VAR review showed Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had stepped on Budimir’s foot inside the area. The referee overturned an initial booking for simulation and Budimir calmly converted the resulting penalty.
Real drew level in the 73rd minute when Federico Valverde surged down the left and delivered a low cross for Vinicius Jr to slide home from close range.But as the visitors pushed forward in stoppage time, substitute Dani Ceballos lost possession and Raul Moro released Garcia del Haro, who skipped past Raul Asencio before firing into the top corner to seal a famous win at El Sadar Stadium.
“We lacked punch, teeth and speed up front. We have a big margin to improve and a long road ahead of us, starting on Wednesday in the Champions League against Benfica,” Real manager Alvaro Arbeloa told reporters.
